Maritim Hotel Dusseldorf Airport

Location: *** a 4* hotel located at the southwest point of the airfield, overlooking the first pier to the west.
Spotting: **

Ask for a high room facing the airfield, and you will get a view of the apron to the west. The hotel is about a 5 min walk away from the terminal but is well signposted. There is a supermarket in the terminal at the hotel end, which is very cheap for food and drink. A nice hotel (it is large) and the staff were very friendly and willing to help. It is a decent hotel and the rooms were huge!

As stated above the terminal is only a 5 minute walk away therefore there is easy access to the rooftop spectator area where all movements can be seen

Report 1: Had room 927 on the 9th Floor. Good views over the Southern Apron Remote stands and also the Biz Jet hangers. All departures could be seen and read with the help of an SBS. If they arriving from the South then nothing can be missed as they will be landing towards you.
Can recommend the German Bar in the reception area. Good Beer and food with very Generous portions. Credit Mark Paulin

Photos: ** Not so good as probably can only see part of the apron to the west. Can see arrivals onto runway 05L/05R. The excellent airport viewing terrace is only a 5 minute walk away where excellent photos can be obtained.
Value: *  Prices from £75 a room
